I visited this particular outlet on several occasions when I'm in the area and I found everything that they deliver is excellent quality especially their pizzas. Good place to have a coffee and his snack as well.

Got my much needed falafel, so tasty. The falafel balls are so crispy and flavourful. Make sure you eat it quickly, it will get soggy if you get all the sauces and toppings. It's not a big deal though.

This place used to be good but since it moved, it has been horrible. Last week I went for a falafel and asked for the extra eggplant, a little bit of cabbage salad and hot and tahini sauce. What I got was overcooked falafel balls cooked in oil that really should be changed, a wad of eggplant, and too much cabbage including the bum end of the cabbage. I do not thing there was any tahina or hot sauce either. Completely gross. Never going back to spend $9.05 on the most disgusting sandwich I have ever purchased from them.

Good food quality, staff are so rude and non-smile. They are vegetarian place only plus salmon. At least they are faster than other places.

★★

This place is a mad house at lunch with no place to sit or breathe! Be expected to stand 5-10 minutes in line to place your order. Try ordering ahead for pick-up to reduce wait times but be prepared to be on the phone with very rude staff who are brash and raise their voice at you if you don’t order fast enough- also expect them to take down your credit card information wrong, or charge you the wrong amount or misplace your order and make you call the other location. These are all things that have happened literally every time I have to interact with this buisness. I wish there were other kosher places around with delivery so I can stop using them. There is also very limited parking and a busy street adjacent, so walking there might be preferable.

I happened to stop by this restaurant yesterday, during a trip to Toronto. I was very satisfied in the way I was treated by the store owner, who made sure I was being served, and took special care in preparing my order. Their Falafel is the best I have ever had. The balls are twice the size of what you get elsewhere. So crispy on the outside, but so juicy on the inside. I suggest you try it, if you want to taste some real Falafel that would beat even some of the Falafel you can get in the middle east.

Fast friendly service. Ordered platters and pizza for a gathering. Food was fresh, delivery was prompt. All guests were happy.

December 21, 2020

I work in the neighborhood & brought a client for lunch. I could not believe the over priced food! $7.33 for fries & gravy, not poutine. My client ordered pizza, so dried up sitting on the tray! 2 slices coat the same as a whole pizza. But that wasn t the major problem! The staff had No gloves and were actually eating out of the bins of food with their hands will working!! Omg! Then some contractor walked thru the food serving area w/long braids & dusty clothes. While the manager sat next to us doing paperwork! I did not eat the fries as they were not cooked! Disgusting!

Used UberEats to place an order at 6:20 on a Wednesday. Food was not ready for pickup by driver until 7:40. Pizza was made late but our falafels, fries and garlic nots were all cold and soggy. It was not edible. Tried calling and they were rude. Will not order from them again.

Asked for a Feta + Spinach pizza, the biggest size. Total cost with delivery 43 CAD. Sadly had no special taste to any cheese or other taste, totally saltless. 4 people tried it and agreed. Contacted customer service, not assuming any responsability for customer satisfaction. Willing to update review in case of satisfactory response. Not happened yet though.

Delicious MEALS! I had falafal plate with salads and eggplant, Im no salad fan but I must say that I liked every single salad I tried (the plate came with five salads). I also tried the lentil soup which is normally boring but not at this place - it tasted wonderful. I experienced some tastes I had never had before and I liked them all.

Ya its 5 star cause its kosher but in reality Tov-Li south (north is 5 star) south is 2.5 cause of chincy offerings and additional charges for what was one free. But over all they just seem kinda chincy with theyre sandwiches. I want to see your staff having a hard time wrapping instead of discussing the difficulties of wrapping. I can go to about 5 other spots near tov li south! Falafel delux couldnt have been thatbad for business. If more wont fit into your pita its because the pita is old. Step it up Tov-Li

Ordered 2 plain slices, was told would be 10 minutes, which is fine, its a busy Sunday evening. 15 minutes in, being told they dont know how long itll be, and if want to replace with other cold slices. Refused snd got refunded, but plain pizza should be a staple to have on hand, especially on one of the busier evenings!

Been my favorite falafel restaurant since 1991 when we moved in nearby. Now there are multiple locations and a far bigger menu, but the recipe is the same.
